Strule
Strule is a yacht of 18 feet on the waterline, built in 1921 to Design 274 from the drawing office of A. Mylne & Co. The vessel was constructed in pitch pine on oak by A Malcolm of Bute. Design 274 is known as the Glynn type, developed in 1920. Strule remains in existence, preserving a record of early twentieth-century Scottish yacht building practice and the productive output of Mylne's office during the post-war period.

Historical Context
A. Mylne & Co. established itself as Scotland's leading independent yacht design office in the decades following its foundation in 1896. By the early 1920s, when Strule was designed and built, Mylne's practice was producing a wide range of vessel types, from small cruising yachts to larger racing and cruising craft. Design 274, the Glynn type, exemplifies the practical, conservative design philosophy applied to modest-sized sailing vessels of the period. The commission of Strule to A Malcolm of Bute reflects Mylne's working relationship with Scottish boatbuilders, many of whom were concentrated in the west of Scotland. Pitch pine construction remained common practice in British yacht building during this period, prized for its durability and workability. The 1920s represented a period of relative stability and revival in yacht design and building following the disruption of the First World War.
